Is Street Handball good Cardio?

Question

I play it nearly everyday for over an hour everyday , and Im already pretty fit, 16 years old, 5'7, 145 lbs. I hear cardio is best when it gets your heart rate pumping fast, but when I play cardio it doesnt really pump that fast, but I feel my body burning. Is that Calories/Fat that its burning? Or does it just not do enough to burn? About howmany calories do i burn playing handball for an hour pretty intensively?
